Fuji Norcom Straight Makes Official Debut

8 / 10

We previewed Fuji’s new Norcom Straight triathlon/time trial bike earlier this month, but the Fuji-sponsored NetApp-Endura team had a full suite of the bikes at the Tour of California (fellow Fuji-sponsored team Champion System doesn’t have them yet and were on Kestrel 4000s for the most part). The new Norcom features some impressive fit options and we didn’t see any non-standard gear on the riders’ bikes, indicating that the new system fits them all well. Although this is the team’s first official race on the bikes, they did notch an unofficial fourth place in the team time trial at the recent Giro del Trentino.
